weird sound from the wheel

[NSXWIND]

took my X out for a ride today (long ride over 100 miles) everything is good except weird squeak noise from the wheel, i believe it comes from the front (maybe the rear too) this is the only X I have ever driven so I don't know if this is normal due to the aging of suspension or spring. anyway please post if you think you know what's going on.

First guess and the most likely cause is one of your brake pads is warn down to the wear indicator. The wear indicator is a metal tab that rubs on the rotor and makes a squeak\squeal\or scraping sound to let you know its time to service the brakes.

Good call, Brian.

In the Do-It-Yourself area of the FAQ, you can find instructions on how to check the thickness of your brake pads by looking through the spokes of the wheels of your car.

the squeak noise doesn't come when I break, it comes when the car go through a small pothole

Depends if the noise is only in this situation or all the time (with some rhythm depending on the speed?). If it's only when you drive through holes I would go for the suspension - springs or damper, maybe a mounting error. Did you change something there before the noise occured?
